This document outlines the new features and major differences from the previous Message Log Viewer system.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Key Points
- Extended retention time for message metadata; message metadata logs are now retained for 30 days (vs 14 in the previous system). Message transactional log ("text log") retention is unchanged (14 days).
- "Search Query" and "Search Filters"; the previous system used a special search query syntax for deeper filtering (eg: to~%@example.com to find all mail sent to or received from example.com). This has been replaced by separate search and filter functionality:
- The "Search for..." box provides full-text search across the message ID, subject, sender, and recipient fields.
- The "Add Filter" dropdown allows targeting your search to specific field(s) from the message metadata.
Multiple field filters for different fields are combined in a boolean-AND fashion.
Multiple field filters for the same field are combined in a boolean-OR fashion.
- The "Search for..." box provides full-text search across the message ID, subject, sender, and recipient fields.
- Deep-link to search results; when filters or search query are in effect the "link" icon on the toolbar provides a quick way to copy a permanent link which will reapply the same filters when accessed in the future
Known Issues / Limitations
- No intra-day time filtering; Datepicker and the query parameters it generates do not support setting time-of-day.
- CSV export does not have "all results" option; Maximum result-set size is 9,999 records, for both the search results view and the CSV records export.
